Charlene, who had been excited all night, did what she said she would, and disappeared without a trace early in the morning, not knowing where to hide to study her blue plan to become a god.

Yalei jumped on the rooftop to practice swordsmanship as usual, and when the red sun climbed into the sky with heat, he had dinner with Bruno and the others, who had finished their morning exercises.

"I have good news for everyone to announce. Nicole drank her own milk in one go, pressed the cup on the table, and said with great interest.

“......”

The black-haired knight sipped a bowl of salty konjac soup lightly, laughing without saying a word, although his perception was lame, he could also feel the vitality in the other party's body that almost wanted to break out of the cocoon, which was obviously a sign of transcending the mortal body.

"There's nothing trivial about Sister Nicole!, please!" Kara said flatteringly, swallowing the bread in her mouth.

"Hahaha! Then I'm going to say it, you listen carefully!" The female man stood up suddenly, crossed her hands on her hips, straightened her plump breasts, and said with her eyebrows fluttering:

"I'm going to push the limits! it won't be long before Nicole and I'm a Scourge Knight!"

"That's great! we finally have another Scourge Knight in the Black Seat!" Beverly happily added another glass of milk to her, filling herself up as well.

"Congratulations, Scourge Knight, you can be knighted with a little meritorious service. ”

"Hahaha, Clark has to work hard, don't get married, it's Nicole who marries you. ”

"Sister Nicole has a bright future in the future. ”

......

The emotions of the crowd were ignited at once, and in the process of taking turns to celebrate, even the laziest Alcia was in good spirits. It was as if she had found her purpose in life.

As a matter of fact. The biggest engine for all the members of the Kuroza is Yalei. Everyone was working towards what he had accomplished, but what Ariel was carrying was too heavy for them to breathe. Therefore, Nicole's advancement is undoubtedly a new vitality, allowing everyone to have a small goal that is easier to move forward under the big goal.

The black-haired knight noticed that there were two other people besides himself who didn't show a surprised expression, one was Nicole's concubine Clark. This is not unexpected. The other person was Bruno, with only a smile on his doll-like face, not the envy of others.

"Congratulations Nicole, I have to toast you, there will be no disagreement in the House of Commons this time, and when I leave the Academy, you will be the second seat of the Black Seat. ”

Holding half a bowl of konjac soup, Yalei stood up and made a toast motion.

Nicole generously raised the milk glass and slammed his large bowl lightly, and said with a grin, "I guess I was about to graduate at that time." After a few months of addiction, I'll go to you. ”

"I can't ask for it. The black-haired knight jerked down the konjac soup in one gulp.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Patiently waiting for the female man to finish the limelight. Bruno coughed lightly, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, swept his gaze over the people around the table, and finally stopped at Yare's, and said with a smile:

"I have good news for you. ”

"Wait!" Kara swallowed the rest of the bread in her mouth, munched on the milk, and swallowed it violently before panting:

"I'm mentally prepared, you say!"

"I'm about to overtake me too! It won't be long before I'm the Knight of the Scourge? Bruno!"

The silver-haired boy's words were like a bomb, shaking the heads of most of the people in the restaurant, leaving only a heavy gasp, and only a full minute later, a roaring cheer was issued:

"Today can be regarded as the anniversary of the Black Throne!"

"In the past, when the head was away, we didn't have a single Scourge Knight in the Black Constellation, but now there are two at once, and I have to work hard to prepare for the next one. ”

"Lock up your pile of Miss Alice's dolls first. ”

There is a reason why their interest is so high, not only to be happy for their friends, but also to be happy for themselves. Although everything in the future depends on one's own efforts and struggles, no matter where you are, network is a valuable resource. No one here is an aristocrat, most of them are middle-class families, and the most reliable network resources are only comrades-in-arms in addition to classmates.

The major sub-seats of the college themselves are independent small teams, eating and living together, and completing tasks together, taking into account the friendship between comrades-in-arms and classmates, so that these teams will not easily disintegrate with graduation.

This is the invisible asset that the Obelisk has given to all the subordinates - a well-functioning independent team.

Therefore, Nicole said that she would defect to Yalei in the future, not a joke, but a tacit understanding that has always been the practice of the Obelisk. Unless a sub-member is too bad to lead a member to a better future, or a member has ambitions of his own, no one will give up on a friendship that has been in business for many years.

"Now that you're all on the verge of pushing the limits, it's time to choose your own path for the future, right?" asked Are, biting on buttery bread.

"I've thought about it for a long time, of course, it's a swordsman. Nicole said sullenly as she licked the remaining milk from the cup.

"My vindictive nature dooms me to be a demon breaker. Bruno replied cheerfully.

The female man frowned, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly asked:

"By the way, I remember you told us before that on the eve of the third-order knight's advancement, the academy will let us enter the dream realm of Mistetine, right?"

The black-haired knight wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at the two of them and said, "That's right, I happen to have something to go there today, let's go with you." ”

"Then let's go now. Nicole said eagerly.

"I can't wait. Bruno was also a little out of control.

"Of course, the sooner you advance, the better, let's go. Arley straightened his uniform and beckoned to the two, motioning for them to keep up with him.

"Let's look forward to the return of the two Scourge Knights. Carla whistled.

The next person to become a Scourge Knight must be me!

Looking at the distant backs of the three of them, Lydia secretly swore in her heart that after comparing the sword with Yare, she could already faintly feel the opportunity for transformation, and believed that as long as she worked hard, the day of surpassing the limit would never be too long.

Research Institute? Ground Floor

"This is the best news I've ever heard since the Hundred Days of Jihad. Director Lloyd pushed his glasses, walked from his seat to the two of them, and stretched out his palm:

"It's the worst of times, it's the best of times, come with me. ”

Nicole and Bruno shook hands one after another, nodded to the black-haired knight behind them, and followed Lloyd's pace.

"......" Areh smiled slightly, motioning for the two to relax, and waited for them to leave his sight before striding towards Vesta's office.

It's the worst of times, but it's also the best of times.

Nicole and Bruno didn't understand what Lloyd meant, but they knew very well that now was of course the worst era for the Empire, because the Hundred Days Holy War had caused 30,000 Scourge Knights to die in the ice field, and the national strength was greatly damaged.

For them, it was the best of times, because it was precisely because of the loss of national power that the empire had welcomed fresh blood to the point of hunger. The advanced Scourge Knights during this period of time must be reused, and correspondingly, they must also face an even more cruel future.

Knock knock!

"Who is it?" said Vesta's impatient voice in the minister's office.

"Is that me, free?" he asked, shaking the handle of the compound door.

"Yalei?"

The voices in the office changed to a tone of surprise, accompanied by the crisp sound of footsteps touching the floor with a string of heels touching the floor, the compound door opened from the inside, and Vesta, who was biting a pipe in his mouth, appeared in front of the black-haired knight.

"It's rare, why do you have time to come to me today?" she grabbed her pipe between her fingers and beckoned to Yalei to come in and speak.

"I remember you said you knew General Casper?" said the black-haired knight as he walked briskly into the room, turning to the female minister's back.

"Yes, I did say that, he's a nice man. Vesta closed the compound door with a sweet smile on his face.

"And how much do you know about the Dou Qi Aether?" he asked, expectantly.

"The popular kind, or Casper's?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Is there a conflict between the two?"

Of course, the former is a superficial theory, while the latter has already been put into practice in his hands. ”

Vesta walked back to the chair behind his desk, placed his pipe on the table, picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water, a look of remembrance on his face:

"When Casper gave up the Demon God Path, I was a junior researcher, and I understand his approach, after all, the Demon God Path is too dangerous. But after hearing that guy actually chose to pursue the limit of vindictiveness, most of the people in the institute and I laughed at this behavior. ”

"Why?" Areley spread his hands and showed a puzzled expression, "I mean, why laugh?"

"Because the well-known limit of fighting spirit is the power of natural disasters!" Vesta folded his palms and lowered his gaze to the table, with a hint of confusion in his eyes:

"A strong will will ignite the fire of life, and the fire of life will burn to the limit will condense the Origin Flame, and finally the Origin Flame will give birth to the true body of the knight, this is all we understand...... What Casper did at the beginning did not conform to our perception, which is why some people denied it. ”

"You mean, the aetherization of vindictive energy was just a hypothesis before Mr. Casper?"

"It's true, it's not that no one is trying to raise the fire of life to a higher level, they expect that the cataclysmic level fighting spirit can also produce a qualitative change, and the end is ...... Bang!" Vesta made an explosive gesture. (To be continued......)
